"cost-effective
automated remote ultrasonic corrosion
mapping
system"
The Inspection Solutions (Cymru) Ltd
MultiScan is a ruggedized PC based,
remote operated 2-axis ultrasonic crawler
designed to allow cost-effective corrosion
mapping inspection to be undertaken
on carbon steel pipe work, above ground
storage tanks, spheres, risers, rigs,
steelwork and shipping without the need
for costly scaffolding or rope access
services.
Unlike other tank wall inspection crawlers
the ability to perform both spot readings
and line scan inspections are further
enhanced by the addition of a 2nd encoded
scanning axis allowing full real-time
C-Scan inspections to be performed.
